But things were different now, and Lucas’ forces were formidable Nothing good would come to Roland from getting on Lucas’ bad side.

Meanwhile, Charles couldn’t believe that he had worked on his speech for a full day and overnight for nothing. It didn’t help that his fellow university classmates were pelting him with questions in their group
